Well I must have done something right. Cryptozoic sent me the Locke & Key card game today. And I opened it. And filmed myself doing it too. Welcome to the new Locke & Key unboxing event…
Why The Hell Isn’t There A My Little Pony Comic Book?
Aaron and Mike of A Comic Show want to help fix what’s wrong with the comics industry, they swear they’ll start a regular bombastic op/ed column here on Bleeding Cool. But first, they feel they must follow their hearts (hooves), and use their connections to get a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic comic made!…
Jim Lee’s Hidden Tribute To Carla
Awwwww… Jim Lee finished the most recent issue of Justice League #5 just before his new child was born, and while his wife Carla was rather heavily pregnant. He’s written that the new arrival held out until he’d finished his deadline, which was appreciated by all, I’m sure. But what tribute could Jim Lee make…
The First Page Of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Revealed At Angoulême
We know from the publicity that DC Vertigo are publishing graphic novel adaptaions of the Millenium Trilogy, with Denise Mina and Leonardo Manco adapting the first book The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo into two parts. And in April they’ll be publishing a free teaser of the first graphic novel. But Bleeding Cool (alone it…

Wednesday Trending Topics: Hobbit Christmas
The internet has been thoroughly consumed with discussion of The Hobbit trailer for the past day — and we’re still almost a year out from the movie’s release, it seems. It makes me wonder which is going to be bigger next year — this or The Avengers? Most-Read TV/Film Stories Today: A Close Look At…
Wednesday Rushes – Veronica Mars, Wright-Pegg-N-Frost, Who Vs. Sherlock, Community And More
Edgar Wright has written something like a musical. There’s going to be a Community protest at NBC tomorrow. The Keith Lemon film looks kinda gross. And much, much more.
Preview: Dwarf And Gnome by Mason Cook
Mason Cook is an an independent comic creator based in Brisbane, Australia, releasing a new comic book, Dwarf And Gnome, in January. I thought this five page preview might make a festive treat for you all. Enjoy…
Has An Indian Newspaper Outed A Surprise Cameo In The Avengers?
If the IMDB didn’t exist, or wasn’t so flaky, I’d be more inclined to buy into this story, but you tell me what you think. Casting is apparently underway for actors to dub the dialogue in The Avengers into Hindi for release against the English language version in India next April. The Hindustan Times (via…
The Women Of Dynamite In March 2012
If you took all the clothes worn by all the ladies on the following Dynamite covers, would you have enough material to make one costume that wouldn’t make you embarrassed to wear? I don’t think you would, frankly. So in March 2012, we have Vampirella Vs Dracula #2 by Joe Harris and Ivan Rodriguez, Warlord…
Makers Of Jersey Shore To Create Geek Reality TV Show For MTV – Fandom Rising
Can you feel your buttocks tightening? “Doron Ofir Casting and 495 Productions is proud to launch the search for the most passionately obsessed, proudly self-identified pop culture fanatics from the worlds of comics, graphic novels, sci-fi, anime, manga, video games, toys, movies, and television.” Yeah, exactly. “FANDOM RISING” will boldly go where no fanboy or…
First Glimpse Of Footage From Aaron Sorkin’s The Newsroom, Little Clip From Armando Iannucci’s Veep
HBO only want to four-fifths rest on their laurels, it seems.* They’ve issued a new video that, for almost two minutes, shows us highlights of the last year’s best and most popular shows, but then breaks out thirty seconds of new stuff. Some of HBO’s 2012 roster is of real appeal to me, from Aaron…
Hasbro Responds To Allegations Of Harsh Conditions For Transformers Workers In China
Earlier today, Bleeding Cool drew attention to the report from the The Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights regarding the working conditions in China for those manufacturing Transformers toys for Hasbro. Hasbro has now responded to this report. And it’s not quite the completely dismissive response I was expecting. They have told Bleeding Cool;…
The Last Of The Prometheus Countdown Trailers And A New Image From The Movie
More Prometheus can’t be a bad thing, can it? Here’s the last of the countdown trailers, with more footage from the film and a few more bits of behind-the-scenes. The image of Michael Fassbender below appeared in the latest issue of Empire; they’ve now premiered the high-res online version. This time tomorrow we’ll all be…
David Yates To Direct “Heightened” And “Trippy” Drama, Your Voice In My Head
While he is or maybe isn’t spending the next few years building up to a big screen Doctor Who, Harry Potter wrapper-upper David Yates is going to have to find a few more movies to keep himself busy. Next up, he has decided on something deliberately smaller in scale. Your Voice In My Head is…
Captain America #5 And #6 To Ship Next Week
It must be end of the quarter. How can we tell? Because that’s when Marvel Comics often appear to try and meet some kind of end of quarter targets by shipping all the books that should have shipped by then. Including, it seems, Captain America issues five and six, both published next week. As is…
DC Reduces Qualification Numbers For Customizable FCBD Title
Yesterday, Bleeding Cool told you about the DC Comic Retailer Customizable Free Comic Book Day title for 2012, where retailers can list their details and offers on the front cover, earlier in the week. Well now we know a few more details. Unlike last year’s Green Lantern equivalent which was not taken up by many, …

New Sherlock Viral? Or Something Geekier?
Below you’ll see a photo of a poster, hanging on a bus shelter. It was taken by Little Bleeder Ian, who wondered: I don’t know if this is genuine viral marketing or just a bunch of students. You can see a #believeinsherlock hashtag on the bottom right hand corner. I went to Twitter and searched…
Frank Miller Redraws The Dark Knight
The above is a commission by Frank Miller, recreating the splash page from The Dark Knight, below, for one Felix Lu. Such a detailed commission from Miller, it would be quite a rarity these days and rather expensive. Albeit not quite as expensive as buying the original art, recently selling for almost half a million…
The Amazing Spider-Man Is Tidied Up A Little By An Official Blurb
Here’s an orderly and dependable plot blurb for The Amazing Spider-Man, as issued by Sony and piling up across the net (and in my inbox) like wildfire right now. There may not be any bombshells in here, but the strands come together pretty clearly. You know – like a web. The Amazing Spider-Man is the…
Joe Madureira Wants To Draw A Zelda Comic Series
The last time I remember reading a Legend Of Zelda comic was back in the nineties, from Valiant Comics before they decided to move into superheroes. There’s were also a few manga books tied into specific game releases but no US licenced comics for quite some time. This could change if Joe Madueira gets his…
The Robins – A New Comic From Jeff Lemire?
He’s done gangbusters for DC Comics, taking C-list character Animal Man, whose return to the DC Universe from DC Vertigo had been lacklustre at best, and turned him into a surprise critical and commercial hit as part of the DC New 52. So it’s only natural that DC might tap him for any other bright…
Warner Bros. Nix ElfQuest Movie, Pin Blame On The Hobbit
I would assume that the success of The Lord of the Rings and the huge interest in The Hobbit, not to mention the extraordinary, eight-film success of the Harry Potter series, would encourage Warner Bros. to look seriously into all of their similar options, but the studio has not to move ahead with a long-developing…
